Abstract

3.1 Genus Luzonacera Li & Li, gen. nov. Type species: Luzonacera chang Li & Li, sp. nov. Etymology. The genus name is a combination of ��� Luzon ��� (refers to Luzon, the Philippine Island) with the typical ending among genus names within this family. Gender is feminine. Diagnosis. The new genus is distinguished (together with Leclercera and Althepus) from all other genera of Ochyroceratidae by the large size, the presence of a denticle on the cheliceral promargin and the rounded maxillae. It is distinguished from Leclercera and Althepus by the absence of a retrolateral protrusion on the tibia or cymbium of the male palp and by the absence of a conductor. Description. Cheliceral promargin with lamina and one denticle, retromargin with two denticles; male with swollen palpal tibia, cymbium with distal protrusion, palp lacking retrolateral tibial or cymbial apophysis, bulb pyriform, central part remarkably constricted, spiral whip-like embolus extending subapically, conductor lacking; female with two pairs of elongate, distally swollen spermathecae.
